One of the things I look forward about the Olympics, whether Summer or Winter games, are the mascots that they come up with each year.

This time, for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada, are mascots inspired by First Nation creatures.

According to the Wikipedia entry on the 2010 Winter Olympics, here are the description of the mascots:

• Sumi: An animal guardian spirit who wears the hat of the orca whale, flies with the wings of the mighty Thunderbird and runs on the strong furry legs of the black bear.
• Quatchi: A sasquatch, who wears boots and earmuffs.
• Miga: A mythical sea bear, part orca and part kermode bear.

Miga and Quatchi are the mascots for the Olympics games, while Sumi is the mascot for the Paralympic games.

The design team must have very creative been in order to come up with the Olympic mascots that reflects the culture and people of the host country every Olympic game.
